Your customers will be looking for designs that are in the latest fashion.
Vogue’s trends for Fall/Winter 2020-2021, include piles of flowing necklaces, chains and pearls, and oversize jewellery belts. Everything big, bold and brash.
Some models on the catwalk were sporting clothing that incorporated jewellery. Big pearls and chains sewn into sweaters and dresses around the neck line.
Chunky chains on large choker necklaces and earrings, with classic chain bracelets continue in fashion. Another Vogue trend is large oversize semi precious talisman pendants and brooches – perhaps to protect from Covid-19.
Other new designs are also big and bold, like animal shapes on necklaces and earrings. Although a huge single earring is still the trend.
Chunky pearl and shell beads have also made a comeback. Along with big bright colours.
They are especially cut to reveal unusual and interesting surface features, and then dyed brilliant colours making dramatic eye-catching jewellery. Rich burnt red and vivid polished purple are particularly spectacular.
Fossil coral’s striking pattern is determined by the species of coral that became fossilized. A common fossil coral is made from crinoids stems. These look like flowers, but were really tiny animals – the lines radiating out to form circles are where their spines were attached.
These beads are thought to accelerate positive changes by energising the entire aura.

In medication it helps re-establish the link between your conscious and subconscious. If you’re feeling down, hold citrine to lift your spirit.
It’s also good at healing the body and communication. Citrine gives warm energy, promotes optimism, and attracts abundance.
itrine removes negative energy, and in ancient times it was carried as a protection against snake venom and evil thoughts. Known as a “merchants’ stone”, placed in the cash register to acquire and keep wealth.
Citrine is the birthstone for November with corresponding signs of Gemini, Aries, Libra, and Leo.
Although the darker, orange colours of citrine, sometimes called Madeira citrine after the colour of the wine, has generally been the most valued colour, in modern times, many people prefer the bright lemony shades which mix better with pastel colours. Most citrine comes from Brazil.
Sometimes citrine is wrongly referred to as topaz quartz. In the past it referred to the colour, which is similar to topaz. Since topaz is a separate mineral, this type of name can be confusing. However, citrine is considered an alternative to topaz as the birthstone for November.
As long as citrine is protected from prolonged exposure to light or heat, it will last for years, and it never requires cleansing.

Topaz sometimes has the amber gold of fine cognac or the blush of a peach and all the beautiful warm browns and oranges. Some rare and exceptional topaz can be pink to sherry red.
Wear topaz only if you wish to be clear-sighted: legend has it that it dispels all enchantment and helps to improve eyesight as well!
The ancient Greeks believed that it increased strength and makes its wearer invisible in emergencies. Topaz was also said to change colour in the presence of poisoned food or drink. Its mystical curative powers waxed and waned with the phases of the moon: it was said to cure insomnia, asthma, and hemorrhages.
Brown, yellow, orange, sherry, red and pink topaz is found in Brazil and Sri Lanka. Pink topaz is found in Pakistan and Russia. Today we also have blue topaz, which has a pale to medium blue colour created by irradiation. Pale topaz which is enhanced to become blue is found in Brazil, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, and China.
In early 1998, a new type of enhanced topaz made its appearance, the surface-enhanced topaz, with colours described as blue to greenish-blue or emerald green. Topaz is a very hard gemstone but it can be split with a single blow, a trait it shares with diamond. As a result it should be protected from hard knocks.
